How strange is it that this is my FINAL MattyCollector MOTU review?! Matty is officially done, and I've reviewed every since MOTU Classics figure they released! Now we just wait for Super7 to start producing their MOTUC figures! Thanks for watching, everyone!
The fact the Skelcon, a Ladybird-only henchmen character that I loved as a child, is finally as figure is mind-blowing! (Totally agree though that it sucks to include an army-builder with a vehicle). The 4H have recreated the Roton (which I spent hours playing with the vintage version of when young) and it looks great. Even the touches like the panels on the sides being sculpted, whereas they could've just cheaped out and used stickers like the vintage version. Only drawback is that it doesn't make that menacing "clack-clack-clack" noise that the vintage version made (which shouldn't have been too hard too incorporate). I know of the model where the additional cover comes from - but I wonder if this also stems from an early prototype of the Roton toy, as I know a few of the other vintage vehicles also had little touches that were dropped from the final produced versions.
Yeah now I have to work on those Battle Ram's, I only have one right now, and I bought it without duncan, so I also am still without the duncan head sculpt..
Dan you rock. Though I kind of wish Super7 would have been able to produce the Roton. I'm sure they would have been willing to make it cheaper. Mattel got me one last time with their collector exploitative prices. And the Roton was one of the things I wanted the most from this line. By the way, if and when hover crafts are a thing, I'm totally going to turn one into a Roton.
Picked up my Roton as well. What can I say. Roton is my 2nd fav Evil vehicle after Land Shark and it is beautiful! Expensive no doubt but it's a real beauty.
I had the Attack Trak and Talon Fighter (I had the good version but there was also a villain version) model kids--which did not hold up to playtime, but I didn't know there was a Roton one.
Dug the Roton and do know got for Christmas way back when (thanks to a home video) . Dunno what happened to it since then though. The update looks awesome and dig the skelcon. Easy a trooper builder. Hmm would Super7 possibly do that? single solo skelcon release later?
GREAT review Dan. Glad I bit the bullet and purchased it. This was a MUST own, in my opinion. Was hoping Matty would do a last minute price slashing on the last few hours of the site but no such luck. This thing is already going for $200-375.00 on Ebay.
***** The Evil Warriors have the Sky Sled/Doom Buggy, Roton and Nightstalker. I guess if you class nightstalker as a beast then two, but as it's mechanical I always think of it as a vehicle.
I wonder if this is why New Adventures has been so underrepresented in the Classics Line. given the size, scale and volume of vehicles within NA. If Roton came in around $120, how much would Starship Eternia be?
Love the Ladybird books. Now we need Nerlins, Sea-people, Shadow-men, Elysians, Snow-dwarfs and 12 inch figures of the Behemoth and the Iron Master. Does anyone have contact details of the person responsible at Super7?
Great review Dan. Personally, my favorite evil warriors vehicle was the Land Shark. (When I was a kid I would have the Land Shark battle the old Thundertank)
its such a shame they have stopped making them :( even though i own at least one MOTU figure i would have liked the rest but hey ho , great review the Roton vehicle brings back many memories
Great Review PD, I got mine last week and LOVE this thing. Been wanting it for years. Thank goodness that this isn't your final Masters review, just Matty's.
Too bad Mattycollector didn't hook you up with this item sooner. After watching your review i would have purchased it from Matty's website when it was for sale. Your videos definitely spur interest in something i might not otherwise pay attention to. Awesome job showcasing.
Chris Parker, can you send me the link....? i don't see it on Mattycollector. Everything on there now says, "Gone For Good." Which i knew was coming at the end of 2016.
Dude... YES! (But not a $125+ yes for me). I love the rare characters you only see in a few frames or even just 1-2 pages! And the art is fantastic! Happen to know their name? And the ReAction 3 3/4" cards deserve their own, figureless release. I want to own the set. Could be my biggest "open/don't open!" Toy trials.
AWESOME! This is such an AWESOME set. I am so glad I was able to pick one up before the site closed. I missed out on the original but this more than makes up for it. Thanks for all the AMAZING toys Matty! Now I just hope Super 7 is able to give up an Attack Trak :)
Hey Dan...if you hear anything as to where Matty is going to unload the overstock or if they are going to open back up for another sale...let me know. I have EVERYTHING that has come out from MOTUC since the beginning in 2008 and right now I am absolutely sick because somehow Matty has lost my order for the Roton! I have been waiting for this figure to add to my already massive collection and now I do not have it. Just watching your video makes me want it all the more! Great review and I am looking forward to many new toys from Super 7!
Thanks Dan for getting back to me. It is a huge bummer that they messed up that order of all things. If I have to, I will buy one on eBay...but I was kind of waiting to see if Matty was going to make an announcment. If you hear anything, let me know.
Still..it would have been nice if they made the ROTON so it could glow and have battery powered features and sound effects like laser fire and the shows trade mark ominous music when entering a dark area/scene.Little things like that would set this Roton into over the top coolness.
awesome review I'm kinda bummed I missed out on these on the site while it was up :( but hopefully will get one Kinda surprised you didn't dig out the fearsome foes guy who designed it to drive it :)
Yeah me too and I've got ever single motu classics figure n vehicle released . I've been collecting from the start. I'm gonna have to hunt one down at a reasonable price. :/
How strange is it that this is my FINAL MattyCollector MOTU review?! Matty is officially done, and I've reviewed every since MOTU Classics figure they released! Now we just wait for Super7 to start producing their MOTUC figures! Thanks for watching, everyone!
Thanks for all the fun reviews with Mattel Dan!! Looking forward to many, many more with Super7!
Now how will I get Matty figures?
I'm going to miss the mattycollector site. I had lots of fun ordering MOTU classics from there.
Ebay or online stores is the only way now.
Kosmikazie eBay or Big Lots.
The fact the Skelcon, a Ladybird-only henchmen character that I loved as a child, is finally as figure is mind-blowing! (Totally agree though that it sucks to include an army-builder with a vehicle).
The 4H have recreated the Roton (which I spent hours playing with the vintage version of when young) and it looks great.

We seriously need to see a Collector or villain battle ram. Roton is okay but unimaginative
This is absolutely my favorite MOTU Classics release without question or pause. I LOVE IT!
Cool toy, I had the vintage one when I was a kid. That would be a cool addition to a collection.
Yeah now I have to work on those Battle Ram's, I only have one right now, and I bought it without duncan, so I also am still without the duncan head sculpt..
Dan you rock. Though I kind of wish Super7 would have been able to produce the Roton. I'm sure they would have been willing to make it cheaper.

2017 Advent calendar show idea: Roton & Skelcon Vs. Santa Car battle!
i didnt realize as a kid how much thats based on DaVinci and his tank
Damn. Just noticed that. Jeez I feel dumb.
Picked up my Roton as well. What can I say. Roton is my 2nd fav Evil vehicle after Land Shark and it is beautiful! Expensive no doubt but it's a real beauty.
The only other vehicle I'd like to see going forward would be a filmation style Attack Track.. but so happy I have the Roton on the way..
Attack Trak would be so sweet!
Skelcons are DEFINITELY going to be an eBay army builder for me lmao
ugh, they'll start at over 100$ I know it!
I had the Attack Trak and Talon Fighter (I had the good version but there was also a villain version) model kids--which did not hold up to playtime, but I didn't know there was a Roton one.
Dug the Roton and do know got for Christmas way back when (thanks to a home video) . Dunno what happened to it since then though.

300 hundred ouch but hey🤷♂️
I'm glad the evil warriors now have an equal amount of vehicles to the heroic warriors.
Well, not really. The heroes have 3 and the Evil Warriors have 1. :-) But I AM glad they finally have one!
*****
The Evil Warriors have the Sky Sled/Doom Buggy, Roton and Nightstalker. I guess if you class nightstalker as a beast then two, but as it's mechanical I always think of it as a vehicle.
Oh yeah, I never classed Nightstalker as a vehicle, but that's a fair point.
I wonder if this is why New Adventures has been so underrepresented in the Classics Line. given the size, scale and volume of vehicles within NA. If Roton came in around $120, how much would Starship Eternia be?
Roughly the price of Castle Grayskull, but I don't think as many people would get it.
Wish I had pulled the trigger on this before they shut down.. At least I got the Horde Wraith and a few other vaulted items.
Is it possible to get a petition going for Super 7 to make an Army Builder Skelecon down the line?
Aw. We wanted to see Mosquitor in that thing.
LOL! I guess he needs to steal it from the Evil Warriors for the Horde!
I really want this to be done in the motu origins line. Best evil vehicle!
This is beyond awesome. What a blast from my past and its got a bio? boil me alive i'm having a nerd flux
and i need not mention the fig included unless its drool based
They hit it out of the park!
I wanted that skelcon, but I just could not afford that price so close to the holidays. I missed out.
Got this last week, I love it!
Looooove this review. it's awesome! 😁
How come. you didn't put in the Roton driver with it? I wanted to see how it looks with it. 😊
I really have no idea why I didn't put him in. I thought about that long after I had edited the video.
Love the Ladybird books. Now we need Nerlins, Sea-people, Shadow-men, Elysians, Snow-dwarfs and 12 inch figures of the Behemoth and the Iron Master. Does anyone have contact details of the person responsible at Super7?
I'd KILL for a Ladybird Teela (fixed Filmation face even) :D
Hey Dan, every time you say "It's comparison time" the power rangers theme song starts playing in my head but different lyrics to fit you better
Great review Dan. Personally, my favorite evil warriors vehicle was the Land Shark. (When I was a kid I would have the Land Shark battle the old Thundertank)
The Land Shark is also great!
vVery nice! I used to have the vintage toy as a kid.
I wish I could buy the Skelcon by itself.
Same! I want a few more of him!
its such a shame they have stopped making them :( even though i own at least one MOTU figure i would have liked the rest
but hey ho , great review the Roton vehicle brings back many memories
Great Review PD, I got mine last week and LOVE this thing. Been wanting it for years. Thank goodness that this isn't your final Masters review, just Matty's.
Yep! More to come once Super7 starts releasing stuff!
Too bad Mattycollector didn't hook you up with this item sooner. After watching your review i would have purchased it from Matty's website when it was for sale. Your videos definitely spur interest in something i might not otherwise pay attention to. Awesome job showcasing.
Chris Parker, can you send me the link....? i don't see it on Mattycollector. Everything on there now says, "Gone For Good." Which i knew was coming at the end of 2016.
I love the continuation of the 'box art story' from the motuc wind raider.
Dude... YES! (But not a $125+ yes for me). I love the rare characters you only see in a few frames or even just 1-2 pages! And the art is fantastic! Happen to know their name? And the ReAction 3 3/4" cards deserve their own, figureless release. I want to own the set. Could be my biggest "open/don't open!" Toy trials.
AWESOME! This is such an AWESOME set. I am so glad I was able to pick one up before the site closed. I missed out on the original but this more than makes up for it. Thanks for all the AMAZING toys Matty! Now I just hope Super 7 is able to give up an Attack Trak :)
Compared to the original Roton,the 2017 Roton is on steroids,haha!!It is well worth the $125 pricey tag.
Nice review PD! I can't wait to get mine.
Thanks!
Thanks for your reviews matty really appreciate them
I think they should do the Dinosaurs next, And Battle Bones
Oh man, I'd be in for both of those!
Great review!!!!! It would be awesome to see Spydor version.
Stunning. Like a 50's Chevy
I lost my chance with Roton, but if Super 7 releases Land Shark, I will snatch it before it's sold out like this one.
That's how you mow the lawn ... proper!!!
Where can I at least have a chance to get the Roton vehicle? Any info PD?
no clicking sound when the blade spins? awww...bummer
Hey Dan...if you hear anything as to where Matty is going to unload the overstock or if they are going to open back up for another sale...let me know.

Great review and I am looking forward to many new toys from Super 7!
I haven't heard anything about if/where they'll be selling leftover stock. Really sorry to hear they messed up your order! That's a huge bummer.
Thanks Dan for getting back to me. It is a huge bummer that they messed up that order of all things. If I have to, I will buy one on eBay...but I was kind of waiting to see if Matty was going to make an announcment. If you hear anything, let me know.
Aw man, not a single shot of Ditztroyer with his Roton?!
Still..it would have been nice if they made the ROTON so it could glow and have battery powered features and sound effects like laser fire and the shows trade mark ominous music when entering a dark area/scene.Little things like that would set this Roton into over the top coolness.
The Flight stand with Roton don't fit with Wind Raider and the Jet Sleds. The peg is molded differently! :/
i saw the roton without the figure for 10 bucks at my local collectibles store
awesome review I'm kinda bummed I missed out on these on the site while it was up :( but hopefully will get one Kinda surprised you didn't dig out the fearsome foes guy who designed it to drive it :)
Yeah me too and I've got ever single motu classics figure n vehicle released . I've been collecting from the start. I'm gonna have to hunt one down at a reasonable price. :/
excellent review
I'm waiting til they hit Big Lots...
Skelcons will eventually get a Super7 army-builder release. It cannot NOT happen!
